October Photo Challenge: Day 16 - Long Exposure

So after my original idea didn't pan out for this shot, I decided to take Mr. L out to the backyard and play with some flashlights! (Also, oops! Another last minute post, yikes!)

(Mr. L's attempt at a heart, which he declared actually looks more like a peach instead...)

This was my absolute first experience with using long exposure, so I really had no idea what I was doing. I kept playing around with the ISO and whatnot, and the background always came out green like that. Is it just the lighting that was outside (moonlight + a fluorescent shed light)? Also, if you have any tips for me on how I can make better long exposure shots, please leave them in the comments! They're such an awesome concept, and I'd love to shoot more like them, just better than this, obviously!
